The first TiA CiBANi collection was created on a whim, when a longtime supporter of designer Tia Cibani asked her to create a children’s collection using fabric from her namesake women’s line. For the purpose Tia delved into the colorful, artistic and tactile; choosing bold colors and crisp fabrics that have become the mainstays of each KiDS collection ever since. Having led the Creative Direction of Ports 1961 for several years, Tia is an industry veteran in designer women’s wear. She applies her deep knowledge of high craftsmanship to her current work making for heirloom quality children’s wear. Tia believes that good design should be inventive, uplifting and functional. She draws inspiration from her North African heritage and the world in which we live, making for a juxtaposition of poetic charm and modern day pragmatism. Textiles are Tia’s first love as a fashion designer. Enter Evolve x Tia Cibani Kids Collection. The collection speaks to the joy of childhood with designs that are unique and imaginative. Highlights of the collection include fun hues and a colorful point of view from the eyes of an impassioned designer like Tia.

Born in Sfax, Tunisia, Slim Keskes always had a big passion for architecture, design, art, and luxurious goods. His love of architecture and design started when his parents decided to design their dream house with a very known Tunisian architect. At the age of 7, he was enthralled by all the “quick” sketches that the architect was creating during the design meetings with his parents. At that young age, and after every single design meeting, he was discreetly creating similar drawings that he never shared with his family. His passion got even stronger during all his years of traveling having visited more than 100 cities around the world. Between spending many years of his life living in Paris and traveling, he was always so curious on discovering the architecture, history, and design of each country he visited. He is fascinated by the patterns, colors, and drawings that he discovered in the historical interiors and monuments. This is where he gets his inspirations for his current projects and products, including his new line of wallcoverings for Evolve.

With a forty-year career that spanned 60 movies, Stephen Vaughan was one of the most respected names in the film business. From Blade Runner to Blade Runner 2049, his work left an indelible mark on any patron of film and his personality on set made him equally as notorious. To quote a Head of Theatrical Marketing for Alcon Entertainment “He was a giant pain in the ass, but he had an incredible eye.” With the manners of a Southern gentleman and the spirit of a Hollywood wild-child, Stephen Vaughan committed his life to his art, living on the edge and taking no prisoners. With a soft spot for Henry Miller, horses, women and scotch, Vaughan was a man from a different era. He was the guy tied to the motorboat taking pictures of Tom Cruise at 100 mph - backwards. He was the guy riding in the stunt car in The Dark Knight in order to get the shot he knew was being set up. Dangerous though it was, it’s one of his more indelible images - that of an eighteen-wheeler completely perpendicular in the dark streets of Gotham. The original Blade Runner images are so ingrained into the cultural fabric that it’s hard to separate where the images end and the movie takes off. It’s this impact, of the single image having an impression notably separate from the film itself, that calls for a recognition of his work. There’s an unmistakable intensity to his work that runs equally alongside the rich depth of color and connection to the human spirit. His composition of frame is not only alluring but often dangerous which, in turn makes the image more provocative. His ability to read the poetry of the moment and convey it through a single image is not only extraordinary, but also credits his strength in this particular genre of photography that is used to market the film with one concise shot. His work so poetic, that one shot could say it all.
